Question 103992
{{{s=   ( s+5)/ -9}}} Start with the given equation



{{{-9s=s+5}}} Multiply both sides by -9




{{{-9s-s=5}}} Subtract s from both sides



{{{-10s=5}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{s=(5)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by -10 to isolate s




{{{s=-1/2}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{s=-1/2}}}  (which is approximately {{{s=-0.5}}} in decimal form)
